Summer advanced study intensive - May through September Fridays 9-11am @ Yoga Clinic
Yoga Sutra: Meet Your Mind

The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is an authoritative text describing YOGA: what it is, what happens when we do it, what happens when we don't, and HOW TO DO IT. Yoga is both a state and a path to it. The state of yoga lies beyond all pain and sorrow. The path? Amidst the obstacles hidden within recesses of our own mind it is paved with solid methodologies and techniques - from practical to most esoteric, for every level of practitioner...
Described in only 196 short verses, this journey is simpler and more enjoyable than most "yoga posing" would have us believe. It is accessible, practical and works without fail. Provided, we make sincere effort. Indeed, The Yoga Sutra is a compelling case for self-effort - noble stride of true Seeker.
This study intensive is available to Practitioners and Yoga Teachers alike - whether to help develop your teaching, deepen your personal practice, or simply gain clarity of self-understanding as well tools and means to overcome the barriers between us and our own joy. Each session includes discourse, practice (asana, pranayama, meditation) and discussion. A printed handout is provided and journaling assignments are encouraged.
Natasha Schaffer has studied the Yoga Sutra extensively and completed 2 master trainings on the subject with senior adepts of tradition of the Himalayan Masters: Rod Stryker (her Teacher) and Pandit Rajmani Tigunait (her Grand Teacher).
* For 200HR Yoga Teachers this intensive counts toward a 300HR curriculum with Involution Yoga. Or for 40CE credits submittable to Yoga Alliance.
** Up to 4 make-up times for missed sessions are available
Cost: $900 ($800 for 300HR Training enrollees). Payment plans available. Apply here

Seasonal "FEEL & HEAL" Workshop Series

Yoga & Reiki "Digest & Reinvest" workshop
Saturday, October 19, 1-3pm
Yoga Clinic @ 1210 Newport Road, A2
Co-facilitated with Vikki Narayan, Reiki Master
Natasha will guide feel good movements to make our bodies receptive. Then gentle stretching in restorative postures, propped and relaxed - for Vikki's hands-on Reiki touch, while the ears of each participant are treated to sound of tuning fork harmonized to the chakra being worked on.
This process moves physical benefits of practice into the energy body, sealing them long term.
This workshop is part of seasonal "Feel & Heal" series.
October's focus: DIGESTION. We will kindle and stoke our digestive fire with:
- simple yoga warmups & restorative twists, while:
- Vikki clears and churns sluggishness from our digestive system and stimulates SAMANA (=energy of digestion, assimilation and absorption)
- your ears are soothed by sound of tuning fork harmonized to Solar Plexus chakra
- we will conclude with freshly squeezed digestive juice and smiles.
This will free the energy bogged down by residual fullness and make it available to reinvest into inner unfoldment...
$35
Parking on Westport (across the street).
Space limited.
